My bucket list – Living life to the fullest!
Bucket list. As 2014 rolls along, i don’t intend to set any new resolutions for the year. I think my resolution is always the same, year on year – living life happy and to the fullest.
What it really means to me is, being out there enjoying whatever that I am doing, trying new things, doing the things that I love, being with the people I love, and simply, loving everything that’s in my life.
There are so many more things that I want to do/achieve in life, and I think i’m almost halfway through the journey, which is why I am going to try creating a bucket list instead. I’ll add on when I think of something new, and I’ll strike them off and put a date to it when I fulfill any of the items. I guess, it’s gonna be really cool to check back each year and see the items I add on or strike off.
Here goes… (in not particular order of importance)

Impressive list! I don’t think I would dare to do more than half of what you have there. Heh. Have you visited Cinque Terre? You should put it on your list if you haven’t! Stunning sights and amazon food. It’s where pesto sauce originated apparently, and it’s really worth visiting.
